Requests for additional leave must be submitted in writing and approved by the Director. Leaves will be granted for the following reasons, only:

Maximum Time Frame
Students enrolled at the Joe Blasco Make-up Artist Training Center must complete their studies within certain time limits to be eligible for a diploma. The maximum time frame (MTF) to complete each diploma program is defined in terms of attempted clock hours. A student may attempt up to 1.5 times the number of clock hours for normal completion of the program of study. Students are missing hours will be given the opportunity to make them up at an incurred hourly rate to the school.
The equation for calculating the MTF is:
MTF = # clock hours in program x 1.5 |
